hmm thats weird. Whats the 'default' way to connect to econ? Im using the rust implementation tw-econ right now, so that library/tool could be at fault? @Robyt3 hope its okay to post a video here: https://streamable.com/m870r4 (pls no ban justatest

You can also build with the system zlib though

We just add a bunch of libs for convenience

i just didnt want to change anything big like including another lib for compression.

the article kind of discusses that

is the right one

DDNet.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00007FFC0D2C25FD in module nvoglv64.dll Reading from location 0000000000000008.

i would say maybe ddnet managed to crash ur gpu driver idk

how do I switch to opengl in config? According to some forums this is vulkan related

12:04

interestingly I didn't change anything, I just restarted the game oO

Ryozuki

fair. For Prism Launcher we decided to never share direct links to the repo to normal users, but always share links to out website or GitHub releases

Scrumplex

fair. For Prism Launcher we decided to never share direct links to the repo to normal users, but always share links to out website or GitHub releases

even github releases is confusing for some ppl

Embedded image

12:21

This was our last release post

12:21

and we link to our own website for downloads, our own blog post about the release and also the GH release

12:21

but most people are probably gonna gravitate towards the "Downloads" link

ye

12:22

i think they should let u do a nice release page

12:22

with a big green download button

12:22

and then the sources smaller

Ryozuki

with a big green download button

but what about releases that have many many artifacts?

i dont wanna make a web for every project xd

ok i mean highlight the binary ones or the ones meant for normies

Scrumplex

github pages exist :D

yeah but it requires quite effort, i meant a quick release page thats almost automated

Ryozuki

ok i mean highlight the binary ones or the ones meant for normies

yeah but even then, there might be files that are not really relevant for end users

just improve the UI on release page

I think you could try to fix the situation yourself by adding big fat download links to the release description

12:25

That way you have control over what is emphasized and what isn't

12:25

not ideal obviously, but if you have a long release post anyway it should work fine enough

we do have a gentoo package!

im not sure if nix tooling enables LTO by default, but it's CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release and a few hardening c/cxxflags

got a 5800X3D here

12:36

I don't like the 7900X3D

12:36

unless the kernel does its scheduling better than Windows for that CPU (edited)

Scrumplex

I don't like the 7900X3D

peperuncry

Image attachment

yeah that ones better

12:40

but also much more expensive

ikr lol

I sidegraded from a 3900X to a 5800X3D

12:40

Because gaming performance is more important than multi core performance to me

12:41

also it's more efficient than the regular 5800X or 5900X

i just hope this pc lasts me a few years

12:41

ddnet with 20K fps monkalaugh

monkalaugh

sounds like you are wasting a lot of power

im bottlenecking with a full HD monitor atm anyway (edited)

I limit my DDNet to 150 fps, with freesync it's low latency either way

12:43

Running with your FPS unlocked just makes your hardware work much harder and therefore draws significantly more power (edited)

oh im obviously not running it on 0 the entire time - i usually limit it to 240

you better >:(

i couldnt handle the coil whining (edited)

that too

only issue i have with AMD atm

12:44

when im not wearing headphones it can get pretty bad when under lots of load

what GPU do you have?

12:44

like what board partner (edited)

7900 XTX

12:44

hellhound

meloƞ

7900 XTX

I can assure you that the GPU chip itself is not the reason xD

happily enough im not stressing my PC to the point that it gets annoying

hmm i dont think that model is specifically known for it

12:46

i mean modern high end cards just have to live with it ig

12:46

it's also different from card to card (even with the same model) (edited)

yeah i read that aswell - but tbf i dont mind as long as it doesnt cause tinnitus °-°

just wear headphones troll

12:48

(mfw i have open back headphones and i can still hear the whine)

Scrumplex

(mfw i have open back headphones and i can still hear the whine)

kek

i had some open over ear's aswell, you get crazy at some point hearing it the entire time

Honestly the only time i can actually hear coil whine is when games dont cap the framerate on loading screens

12:50

I guess I could also hear it when I am in VR, but my headset drowns out the noise of that very well

Scrumplex

unless the kernel does its scheduling better than Windows for that CPU (edited)

??

12:51

well i dont use windows

12:51

i saw a clear improvement on my gentoo

12:52

btw on linux u can change / patch shcedulers

12:52

open source stuff

well yeah obviously

also recently they updated it iirc

12:54

anyway i got 128mb cache and AVX512

Gaming benchmarks of the 7900X3D just showed that it performed worse in gaming than the 7800X3D, because only a portion of the cores actually have 3D-V-Cache

Scrumplex

Gaming benchmarks of the 7900X3D just showed that it performed worse in gaming than the 7800X3D, because only a portion of the cores actually have 3D-V-Cache

worse in gaming? well give or take 5 fps

I think the 7800X3D has 8 cores with 3D-V-Cache, while the 7900X3D only has 6 cores with 3D-V-Cache (edited)

in gaming its mostly gpu

12:54

and the cpu is already so high end it probs doesnt matter

Ryozuki

in gaming its mostly gpu

depends on the game really

yeah but with this cpu its def not a bottleneck

but even productivity tasks are worse on the 7900X3D than on the regular 7900X

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks

12:58

the 7900X3D review came out before the 7800X3D so this video doesn't compare it to the former: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA1LvwZYxCM

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks: Spoiled by the 5800X3D

12:59

but even then. The CPU benchmarks in the 7900X3D review show that it just isn't a well designed package

12:59

So I would personally either "downgrade" to a 7800X3D or upgrade to a 7950X3D, even though the latter isn't perfect either

12:59

With good scheduling 7950X3D should be at least as good as the 7800X3D

13:00

But I am not sure how good schedulers are nowadays with these heterogeneous CPUs (edited)

better use tw econ tui xd

hmm for me the colors were inverted with tui xd

ah and idk if a tui is the right tool to use as a 'library', as i wanna automate stuff with econ

ah

15:01

tw econ is fine as a lib ig

like its just wrapper of tcpstream
